In context
3And the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her his wife;
4Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee an inheritance.
5When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
6No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh life to pledge.
7If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
